But what if we wanted to be recognized as the brand that is spelled pan.do/ra - which happens to be the URL of the product?

And what if getting recognized as the brand involved in a trademark conflict about the name of a Greek mythological figure is a risk we're totally willing to take?

That's some bravado. To make the case more poignant, you should also open an online shoe store at http://ni.ke

My point exactly. "But, what about the Greeks!" doesn't carry much weight in a trademark lawsuit.
